I say neither. I beleive Thome's numbers will drop off this year, (home vs road last year, new league/pitching, Philliy phanatics etc.) and Delgado, despite have a monster second half, is a risk as well. You might be better off trying to use your recources elsewhere, (outfield, or one of those slugging shortstops) and taking a chance on a semi-sleeper first basemen. Konerko will probably go later than the two you mentioned, and he puts up solid numbers. Everyone is saying that Jeremy Giambi is in the best shape of his career, and his OBP suggests that he could have a breakout year as an everyday 1b. Derek Lee will steal some bases for you, and Durazo (if he qualifies) might be a good power pick up. What does everyone think?
